A Descent into Egypt is a horror novella by American author Algernon Blackwood. A Descent into Egypt is a mesmerizing novella that plunges readers into the mystical depths of ancient Egypt. Narrated by a man known as the "Author," it unfolds as a vivid recounting of his experiences during a metaphysical journey through Egypt's sacred landscapes. Blackwood's rich prose and keen sense of atmosphere immerse readers in a world where the boundaries between the material and spiritual realms blur. The novella is a transcendent exploration of mysticism, cosmic forces, and the timeless allure of Egypt's enigmatic past, offering a thought-provoking narrative that lingers in the mind long after the final page. Algernon Henry Blackwood ( 1869 –1951) was an English short story writer and novelist, one of the most prolific writers of ghost stories in the history of the genre. A Descent into Egypt was first published in 1914 as part of the story collection Incredible Adventures (available as separate audiobook). Unabridged full version.
